vinni83 148 Posted October 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 So I'm seeing pictures from the Arms and Hunting show. Does that mean that things are improving for the Russian civilian market? The situation is not simple. Izhmash lately does not supply firearms to the domestic market. Plant "MOLOT" introduced a whole line of firearms based on the AKM and the RPK . They are produced on the basis of military production samples 70s 80s. And certified as a hunting rifle. M-4 carbine produced by "MOLOT" (with the barrel of the RPK) can also be purchased at the price of $ 2,500. In general, the price of a good weapon (and Russian and foreign) have recently increased by 30-40% Persistent rumors about the possibility of resolving combat pistols. But these are only rumors. New Molot product line - SVT AKMs 9mm Luger AKM+ATI KO-SVD AKS AKSu Mosin In one embodiment, the Mosin rifle was firing .410-caliber bullets 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gunfun 3,930 Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Hello Guys. Some of you think "that the Russian people keep there guns "stock" or unmodified". This is not true. Over the past few years, Russian companies have developed many interesting options for tuning Saiga and other rifles based on the Kalashnikov. Russian hunters and fans of "practical shooting" (IPSС.ru) is not only familiar with the products of such well-known companies like CAA, Fab Defens, Tapco, Magpul, Leaper/UTG, Tromix, Ultimak etc. but actively use them. Russian arms factories such as Izhmash & Molot also created new accessories and upgrade manufactured products. Often, these developments do not become serial, but this does not become less interesting. In addition in the Russian market is gradually emerging new commercial plant engaged in the production parts for gunsmithing. In this topic, I will tell you about the most interesting options & components to improve Saiga created in Russia. I'll try any of your questions. I apologize for my English. I'm still learning. I love it. 1) No need to apologize for rough English. At least you care. I wish more native English speakers would attempt to speak well. 2) That's hilarious- and should be obvious to anyone who thinks. People are people every where. People who use guns every where are going to want better guns and personalized guns. Some will make their guns better others will make them worse. For some reason (video games?) there has been a fad the last few years to assume that Russian men and gear are super manly and behave like they live in an action movie. That's obviously just as silly as assuming that Samurai were the ultimate warriors, and every thing they touched was unique and the pinnacle of development. 3) see #1 above. It's cool to see different ways of doing things, and more often than not pretty similar ways of doing things. I like the creativity. It's also pretty cool to see what people in different countries do to avoid stupid local laws, or do when they don't have stupid local laws. i.e. British guys figuring out how to make a long shotgun fun, or people in Califorina making rifles and shotguns worth the bother, and Russian guys having legal side folders. My state doesn't allow short barrels, but there are creative things people can do to offset that. Do the most with what you can, and make it your own! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

People who use guns every where are going to want better guns and personalized guns. Some will make their guns better others will make them worse. My father fought in Vietnam . He was an officer of anti-aircraft troops. He told me how the American planes destroyed . Thereafter, American planes bombed missile system S-75 on which he served. It has been almost 50 years. My father is no longer alive . But if he was alive he would say - it is better to exchange views, than missiles. I hope that the Russian and American guys will never again look at each other through the optical rifle sight . P/s And yet, I am very sorry about the death of Mikhail Kalashnikov. With his death, I lost a brother of his father. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,930 Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Agreed. I'd just as soon not fight with anyone. The more our countries do business together, the less risk of that there is. I think I understand the sentiment of your last sentence, but I don't think the expression works in English.

SgtRaven 531 Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 While deviating from original topic (as long as it's OK with thread owner)... You'd be amazed how much both sides are alike and have in common, once you get to know them. We are much closer, than our "caring" gubberments wants us to believe... Open minds, eyes and hearts will always go much further. Na Zdorov'ye! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mancat 2,366 Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 I think Russians and Americans have a lot in common and I would agree that our two governments are mostly to blame for our history of conflict.. Imagine the pairing of Russian and American as partner superpowers. Could've been a much greater 20th century had we not been working against each other. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FredRepr650 0 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) Vinni83, what is your opinion on the Ultimak rail? I'm starting to see it on pictures of AK's outside of the US. I use the Ultimak rail. Aimpoint on top with a light mount mounted on that same rail. Standard ak handguard with an added magpul rail segment in order to attach pistol grip.

BTW, fuck hitler and fuck tojo Thank you my friend. post some new photos of the new Russian products! I'll try. That's a very interesting Saiga (AK type) of premium performance, with walnut furniture and oxidation. Cover it with gold, and will be just like Saddam Hussein. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I use the Ultimak rail. Aimpoint on top with a light mount mounted on that same rail. Standard ak handguard with an added magpul rail segment in order to attach pistol grip. Ultimak - a good base for light sights, such as your Aimpoint or TRS-25 For more massive sights it seems to me, a bad option. In Russia price Ultimak =150-200$ quite expensive mount. We prefer rail installed instead of the standard rear sight. The price of such anchorages around $ 50 With light sights they work very well. A more massive sights, I think it's better to put on the side bar and bracket (eg MI). EoTech 512+Ultimak - bad combination. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EoTech 512+Ultimak - bad combination. We have some of these Armacon rear sight replacement rails, In my opinion both Ultimak and Armacon work well, holding zero under even after removing and reinstalling the optics. I do prefer the position of the Armacon more, it allows for a better grip on the handguards. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

vinni83 148 Posted June 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 8622300.jpg Saiga MK, from tuning company "Рысь" ("Lynx"). Funny to see Magpul buttstock and Tapco magazine being used in an AK in Russia. Magpul buttstock, EoTech & Leupold sights, Surefire lights, these brands are well established in Russia for their quality, reliability & ergonomics. But Tapco magazine is rather exotic. In order to use them on their Saiga need to refine, and the reliability of the magazine production Izhmash, no doubt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
